IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
1. Read all instructions.
2. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord,
plug, base, or motor in water or other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used
by or near children.
4. Unplug cord from outlet when not in use, before putting on
or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug,
or after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged
in any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for
information on examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical
adjustment.
7. The use of attachments, including canning jars, not
recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer
may cause a risk of injury to persons.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch
hot surfaces, including stove.
10. Keep hands and utensils out of blender jar while blending to
reduce the risk of severe personal injury and/or damage to
blender. A rubber spatula may be used but must be used
only when blender is not running.
11. Blades are sharp; handle carefully – especially when
assembling, disassembling, or cleaning inside blender jar.
12. Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blender jar.
13. Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blade assembly.
14. Always operate blender with lid in place.
15. When blending hot liquids, remove center-piece of two-piece
lid. Hot liquids may push lid off jar during blending. To prevent
possible burns: Do not fill blender jar beyond the 3-cup (750-ml)
level. With the protection of an oven mitt or thick towel, place
one hand on top of lid. Keep exposed skin away from lid. Start
blending at lowest speed.
16. Do not leave blender unattended while it is operating.
17. Check that the control is OFF before plugging cord into wall
outlet. To disconnect cord, turn the control to OFF. Then
remove plug from wall outlet.
18. Do not use appliance for other than intended purpose.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This appliance is intended for household use only. Use for food
or liquids only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized
plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock.
The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way
or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace
the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a
longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension
cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord
must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance.
Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will
not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or accidentally tripped over.
Do not place blender jar in the freezer filled with food or liquid.
The contents may freeze and may result in damage to the cutting
blades, jar, blender, and possibly result in personal injury.
The wattage/ampere rating of the blender is determined by an
Underwriters Laboratory test and is based on available cutting
blade assembly and jar combinations that may not be provided
with your unit, but are available as replacement parts. This is a
measure of input wattage/amperes after 30 seconds of operation.
The blender as provided may draw significantly less power.
Peak power is the measure of the motor wattage during the first
seconds of operation. This is when a blender requires the most
power to crush ice, frozen fruit, etc. This is a better measure of
what a blender motor can consume when power is needed
most.
BEFORE FIRST USE: After unpacking blender, wash everything
except blender base in hot, soapy water. Dry thoroughly. Wipe
blender base with a damp cloth or sponge. DO NOT IMMERSE
BASE IN WATER. Care should be taken when handling cutting
blade assembly as it is very sharp.

DISHWASHER-SAFE
2
1
DO NOT use the “SANI” setting when washing in the dishwasher.
“SANI” cycle temperatures could damage your product. Parts may
also be washed with hot, soapy water. Care should be taken when
handling the cutting blade assembly as it is very sharp. Rinse and dry
thoroughly. Do not soak.
Wipe blender base, control panel,
and cord with a damp cloth or
sponge. To remove stubborn
spots, use a mild, nonabrasive
cleanser.
EASY CLEAN
To Easy Clean, pour 2 cups (500 ml) warm water in jar and add 1 drop liquid dishwashing detergent. Run the blender on EASY CLEANfor
10 seconds. Discard soapy water. Rinse with clean water.
This function is not a substitute for regular cleaning as instructed in “Cleaning Your Blender.” This function should never be used when
blending any mixture containing eggs, milk, any other dairy products, meats, or seafood.
The Easy Clean function should only be used to rinse the blender between batches of processing the same food. When the processing
of a single type of food is finished, the blender should be disassembled and thoroughly cleaned as instructed in “Cleaning Your Blender.”

Blender Tips
• To add foods when blender is operating, remove filler-cap and add
ingredients through the opening.
• For best performance, the minimum amount of liquid needed per
recipe is one cup (8 ounces/250 ml). Add more liquid if food is not
blending properly.
• If blending action stops during blending or ingredients stick to
sides of the jar, there may not be enough liquid in the jar to blend
efficiently.
• Do not try to mash potatoes, mix stiff dough, whip egg whites,
grind raw meat, or extract juices from fruits and vegetables.
• Do not store food or liquids in the blender jar.
• Avoid bumping or dropping the blender when in operation or
at any time.
